Honors Thesis: Breakfast Cereals and Their Use of Misleading Information Honors Thesis: Breakfast Cereals and Their Use of Misleading Information Kelsey Brentnall Food consumption is one of the basic necessities of human survival. Along with oxygen, sleep, and water, food gives humans the energy to live and fuels us on a day to day basis. Why is it, then, that the food we are consuming today seems to be critically limiting our survival? Unfortunately, food is a highly political realm where human health is not always at the forefront. Food production today is greatly influenced by the industry’s need to make money rather than to provide us with the nutrients our bodies need. Although this seems to be the trend across all categories of foods, from processed snacks to genetically modified crops, one major area of concern is in breakfast cereals. There has been numerous studies that prove breakfast is key to a good start to the day. However, the few major breakfast food companies that can provide this healthy start don’t seem to be concerned with our nutrient needs. Specifically, many breakfast cereals contain misleading information on their labels to grab consumer attention, stating things such as “100% natural,” “high fiber,” and other positive claims. In reality, many of these cereals are loaded with more destructive components than they claim, especially sugar. Therefore, it’s important to analyze what really constitutes a healthy breakfast, and how that can be attained. It is also important to compare the labeling of cereal box claims to the actual nutrition information. The food industry has been denying the truth about food as well as public access to healthy options since food production began. The government and food industries have shaped the public's perception of what is “good” and what is “bad” for you in order to emphasize the products that they’re selling in order to make a profit. They have also used this tactic to shift the blame away from food industries to the individual for the rise in obesity. For example, the tobacco industry used the same tactics with tobacco as what’s currently being done with sugar (Sugar-Coated). These industries have all used biased research, where scientists with conflicting ​ ​ interests ran experiments on tobacco, sugar, and other foods. In many instances, these investigations “proved” positive results for the big industries. The tobacco and sugar industries also use the same marketing tactics to convince consumers that their products will benefit them in some way. This is a clear example of an industry deceiving the public into making unhealthy decisions. The sugar industry has also shifted the blame towards the American citizen for the obesity epidemic rather than the products that are filled with sugar. The industry uses personal responsibility rhetoric, saying that it’s the individual’s fault they are overweight (We’re Part of ​ the Solution). Americans are lead to believe their weight is a result of their laziness, rather than ​ the fact that the sugar they are consuming is the main source of obesity. This is proven by the fact that between 1980 and 2000, fitness club memberships doubled but so did obesity rates (Fed ​ Up). Even though Americans became more active, they still were gaining weight: a clear sign ​ that laziness was not the cause of obesity. It was also emphasized by the food industry that a calorie burned equaled a calorie consumed (Sugar Coated). Therefore, it was believed by the ​ ​ public that it was okay to eat sugary foods, as long as they exercised and burned off those calories. However, this is completely false, since different sources of calories are metabolized very differently in the body. For example, 100 calories of almonds is very different than 100 calories of cake. In this way, the public was lead to believe that they, alone, were responsible for their weight and poor health, leaving sugar out of the equation. In this way, the food industry has numerous deceiving practices that shape public opinion to what will produce the most revenue. Unfortunately this does not always coincide with what is healthiest. One major aspect of food today that makes it so unhealthy is the fact that it is loaded with sugar. Ever since the low-fat craze, Americans have been consuming excess sugar, leading to all sorts of diseases. The worst part about this, however, is that neither the government nor the food industries have done anything to limit Americans’ sugar intake. In fact, they have ensured that consumers are not aware of how much sugar they’re consuming nor the fact that it is so detrimental to their health. In the 1980’s, the low-fat trend lead to excess sugar consumption in America (Fed Up). ​ ​ When the fat is taken out of food, it is left highly unpalatable. Therefore, the simple solution that the food industry came up with was to add excess sugar, making the food more pleasant. This began the epidemic of obesity and extreme sugar consumption in the U.S.. Between the years of 1977 and 2000, humans have doubled their intake of sugar (Fed Up). Not surprisingly, this has ​ ​ lead to a plethora of diseases plaguing the population. When the liver is overloaded with fructose from our diet, it converts the sugar to fat. This leads to fatty liver disease, diabetes, and heart disease. Specifically, in the past 30 years, obesity rates have doubled to 600 million while diabetes rates have tripled to 347 million worldwide (Sugar Coated). These diseases are not only ​ ​ affecting adults, but more and more children have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes as well as fatty liver disease. Additionally, 40% of the non-obese population has the same metabolic diseases that the obese do because they are consuming these sugar-filled foods (Sugar Coated). ​ It’s not surprising that humans are hooked on sugar, since several studies have found sugar to be very similar to cocaine (Fed Up). In fact, it has been found that sugar is eight times ​ ​ more addictive than cocaine. In one experiment, cocaine-addicted rats were given the choice of sugar water or cocaine over a 15 day period. 40 out of the 43 rats chose sugar water over cocaine. The rats on a sugar water diet showed telltale signs of addiction, such as binging, craving, and withdrawal. Other studies have suggested that sugar is habit-forming, stimulating the same brain responses as opiates (Food Politics). Because humans are so conditioned to these ​ ​ high levels of sweetness, they crave sugar even more (Fed Up). As if this is not enough of an ​ ​ issue, the sugar industry will do anything to keep Americans hooked on sugar. Industries have ensured that Americans are unaware of the specifics of their sugar intake. Sugar hides under 56 different names on food labels. Some of these names include molasses, honey, dextrose, corn syrup, cane sugar, fructose, maltose, sucrose, and dextran, in addition to others. Additionally, the amount of processed foods has doubled in 30 years to 2012, with many of these foods containing sugar. In fact, of all the packaged foods in the grocery store, 74% of them are spiked with added sugar (Sugar Coated). While this includes foods like cereal and ​ ​ cookies, it also includes other less obviously sweet foods like salad dressing, barbeque sauce, hamburger buns, hamburger meat, etc. (Sugar Coated).When the FDA proposed having an added ​ ​ sugar label on these processed foods, the food industries protested. For example, Oceanspray asked to be exempt from this, admitting that cranberry juice needs all of the extra sugar to taste good. Not only is there no added sugar value, but there is no percentage for daily recommendations of sugar on nutrition labels, which was the result of sugar lobbyists fighting the World Health Organization (Fed Up). Although nutrition labels do contain the amount of ​ ​ sugar contained in the product, it is labeled in grams not teaspoons. This is unfair because while many people understand the size of a teaspoon, not many are familiar with the metric system (Last Week Tonight). The American Heart Association recommends a daily allowance of 6-9 ​ ​ teaspoons of added sugar a day, yet Americans are consuming nearly three times this amount. Adults have 19.5 teaspoons of added sugar daily, while teenagers consuming an excess of 30 to 41 teaspoons per day (Sugar Coated). ​ ​ Not only do food companies conceal the truth behind their sugar content, they also hire scientists with conflicting interests to perform experiments for their products. For example, in the 70’s, scientist John Yudkin was independently performing research on how sugar was harmful for the body. Therefore, the sugar industry paid scientist Ancel Keys to conduct research showing how dietary fat was bad in order to take the blame off of sugar (Sugar Coated). The ​ ​ sugar industry began to hire PR in order to influence the public opinion on sugar, with the goal being to make sure that there was never a public consensus on whether sugar is bad or not. Similar to Yudkin’s research, artificial sugars, such as saccharine and cyclamates, became a large threat to the sugar industry. Therefore, the industry funded research to test the harmful effects of these products, coincidentally finding that fake sugars are a danger to health. Individual companies are also responsible for conflicting interests in relation to sugar. For example, Coca Cola sponsored a study that proved sugar in soft drinks does not have a correlation to obesity. Additionally, in coordination with McDonald’s they sponsored the Canadian Obesity Summit, which aimed to provide help to those with the chronic disease. While Americans are suffering through diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, believing that exercise is the key to maintain good health, the sugar industry is hiding the truth behind the deadliness of its product.
